Kyle’s eyes are now set on Ichiro’s hit total.
After discussing his 1,000th hit, it was mentioned to Kyle Seager that he only needs about 3,300 more to catch Ichiro's total from MLB and NPB.

Seager replied: "At the rate I'm going, I think if play till I'm about 73, I will catch him. So I'm on a good pace."
Congrats to Kyle. Also, congrats to you for choosing to read these links.
